(ANSA) - MILAN, NOV 15 - Apple is thinking of further ways to lose iPhone users more privacy in public places.
The US patent office has published the document with which the American giant describes a technology that would offer iPhone owners the ability to darken the screen and make it invisible to others. Only by wearing a pair of compatible glasses, probably starting from the Apple Glass expected as early as 2022 according to the latest Bloomberg rumors, you could view the display. According to the patent, the 'privacy eyewear' function recognizes the face of the user who is in front, through Face ID, to make the phone panel blurred or completely black, depending on the settings chosen during the configuration phase. At that point, only glasses with a special lens would be able to translate what passes on the iPhone, filtering out the background noise. The document includes aillustration in which you can clearly see a scenario of use involving the mobile phone. Alongside this patent, the US Patent & Trademark Office has published a second one, which talks about the opportunity to control a drone, such as the famous household ones many years ago, via cellular network and no longer with only Bluetooth connectivity, limited in terms of coverage. . As reported by TheInformation, it is not excluded that the patent refers to the extension of the 'Where is' functionality, which allows Apple's AirTags to connect, anonymously, to iPhones, iPads and other devices of the brand that it finds around, to send the position to the owner and trace the objects he has entered the same AirTags. In doing so, a drone could travel much greater distances,using the communication channels of Apple devices, remaining online and remotely manageable. (HANDLE).
